P. G. Wodehouse Quotes About Golf

• ¿De qué sirve el golf? La vida es severa y la vida es seria. Vivimos en una época práctica. A nuestro alrededor vemos que la competencia extranjera se hace desagradable. ¿Y pasamos el tiempo jugando al golf? ¿Qué ganamos con ello? ¿Sirve de algo el golf? Eso es lo que le pregunto. ¿Puedes nombrarme un solo caso en el que la devoción a este pasatiempo pestilente haya hecho algún bien práctico a un hombre?

• Golf is the Great Mystery. Like some capricous goddess, it bestows its favours with what would appear an almost fat-headed lack of method and discrimination. On every side we see big two-fisted he-men floundering round in three figures, stopping every few minutes to let through little shrimps with knock-knees and hollow cheeks, who are tearing up snappy seventy-fours.

• Muchos malos golfistas se casan, pensando que la solicitud cariñosa de una esposa puede mejorar su juego. Pero son hombres rudos, de piel gruesa, no sensibles e introspectivos.

• I've just discovered the secret of golf. You can't play a really hot game unless you're so miserable that you don't worry over your shots. Take the case of a chip shot, for instance. If you're really wretched, you don't care where the ball is going and so you don't raise your head to see. Grief automatically prevents pressing and over-swinging. Look at the top-notchers. Have you ever seen a happy pro?

• Golf acts as a corrective against sinful pride. I attribute the insane arrogance of the later Roman Emperors almost entirely to the fact that, never having played golf, they never knew that strange chastening humility which is engendered by a topped chip shot.

• Fue una mañana en la que toda la naturaleza gritó ¡para siempre! La brisa, que soplaba suavemente desde el valle, parecía traer un mensaje de esperanza y alegría, susurrando golpes de chip embocados y brassies aterrizando de lleno en la carne. La calle, que aún no había sido marcada por los hierros de cien dubs, sonreía con su verdor al cielo azul.
